Mick Schumacher was just 14 when his father, seven time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher, suffered life-changing injuries in a skiing accident from which he continues to recover today
Mick Schumacher says he did "everything my dad did" as a child as he revealed he still uses advice given to him by his Formula 1 legend father Michael to this day.
He made it to F1 and raced with Haas for two seasons until he lost his seat at the end of the 2022 season. Since then, he has been a reserve driver with the Mercedes team that his father came out of retirement to race for between 2010 and 2012, helping establish the squad on the grid. "He was really supportive and a lot of fun, but could also be challenging. One time in a karting race I braked very late going into a corner and gained a lot of time. When I told him about it, he said, 'Yes, but you should have braked like that in every corner!'
"Then my dad had his accident," Mick continued. "I started racing in the Formula classes the year after and from then on I had to do it all on my own.
